My Time to Craft DT Challenge #338 Feathers.

Evening, all! It's time for new challenge at My Time to Craft and we have an unusual and lovely theme - Feathers. So you can use feathers on your creation, or birds - or both if you so desire!

I received some feathers in a gorgeous Crafteezee kit from Noor! Design UK. Each monthly kit has a different theme, the feathers came with an Art Deco set, so I decided to make a couple of Art Deco-type cards.


Yes, TWO cards! I made them both at the same time. I cut gold and black card with a MFT Die-namics Chunky Chevrons cover-up Die and glued the frames onto my card bases. Then I inlaid the black chevrons into the gold frame, and vice-versa. The sentiment is from an ancient wood-mounted die, and I used a stamp-a-majig to make sure it was straight on a scrap of black card, then embossed in gold. I cut back the front of the card and glued the sentiments on the back.

Then I added the feathers, and also two fabulous ornaments, also from the Noor! Shop.

I'm so pleased with these cards! They came out exactly as I imagined them!

Go and see the fab creations my teamies have made for some gorgeous inspiration!

Thanks for looking - and Happy Year of the Rooster!

Indeed the design looks very Art Deco. Love the dramatic colors with these feathers (something I never know how to use well!). I like the way you've reversed the chevron patterns on the 2nd card too. Clever! TFS & Hugs.

Image
Hi, guys! We have a new challenge at Dream Valley and it's to use yellow and black on your project. Our sponsor is the gorgeous All Dressed Up and Wendy kindly gave us a couple of her adorable images to use. I chose Magical Woodland it is so cute. The background is made with the Honeybee layering die set from Birch Press, and I used up scraps of orange, black and yellow card forthe die-cutting. The die-cut sentiment uses a Love from Lizi die and a snippet of black glitter cardstock. Have a look of my teamies' creations, they have made some very pretty cards! Thanks for looking and - Bee Happy! love Mags B x

Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well! We have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Men Only. Yep, we're asking for those tricky cards for the Blokes! I have made a card for a boy. This is Fenton Frog by Sweet'n'Sassy stamps, he is so cute! ALL the papers and card (except the card base were made with Snippets from the scrap drawer! The sentiment came with the image and I cut it out and layered it onto a folded banner die-cut by Simon Says Stamp, using a scrap of green glittery card. I added green Nuvo Drops as an embellishment as well as two tiny green hearts on the banner. I am determined to make a real effort to use up snippets this year!! Go and see the fab work left on the Challenge blog by my teamies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft #386 More Than One Fold - but not an easel!!

Image
Hello, my lovelies! I hope you're all keeping well and keeping on top of all the Chrimbo shenanigans! To take your mind off things we have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is More Than One Fold But No Easels! I don't know about you, but an easel card is my default for more than one fold, so I was a bit anxious about this one. However, in the nick of time Jennifer McGuire posted a video on how to make a Double Z-fold card which fits the bill! This is the outside, which looks like an ordinary Z-fold, but when you open it..... I used a printed ready-made card base and stamped and embossed an old Hero Arts stamp across the internal section, masking areas for the sentiments. I coloured the flowers with Zig brush markers. The sentiments are stamped with gold Delicata ink. This was made for a birthday at the end of October, I am pleased to say that the recipient liked it! There is some gorgeous inspiration on the Challenge blog, go and see! Thanks for look...
